This thread his sorta useless, but I think a few of the sicker individuals will get a laugh out of it...

Firstly, I had a very strange day recently. I was in Termini train station for a few hours and I saw three people fall down. It was hilarious. First, a woman was walking with her dog, when another dog came running up to sniff her dog. Her dog was kind of frightened and got in front of the woman, tripping her. It was all I could do to not laugh. Man, she bailed hard.
Then, another woman was walking along and she slipped on a blob of ice cream that fell from her own cone. She attempted to save teh cone at the cost of her body. It looked painful, but was funny nonetheless.
Then, I saw a woman just walking along, close to the curb, looking across teh street. She inadvertantly got too close to the edge and just toppled over, off the curb, into teh street. God I laughed at that one.
There was a near miss with a guy almost falling down the stairs, but he caught the rail with his armpit. Truly comical.

I know, I'm such an @sshole for finding any of those things funny.

The other thing I feel like mentioning (why? I'm not sure) is this really weird party Roma threw yesterday. It's called Notte Bianca. Everyone takes to teh streets and just walks around. Nothing really going on, just that EVERYBODY is walking the streets. It was packed. It was similar to World Cup, except that there was nothing to celebrate. OK, Roma did happen to win a football game earlier in the evening, but that had noting to do with it.
There was the odd stage set up with the odd musician playing something.... But that was all. Just a few hundred thousand people milling about and walking around in the middle of the night. I was out from about 12:30 to 3:30ish and really didn't see or hear anything. Lame.
Oh, I should add that all the stores stay open. I am at a loss to explain why one night a year, Romans just decide to stay up all night and walk around and do nothing.

Hahaha... That lady that slipped on her ice cream... I'm still laughing about it days later.
